Even more work.

A caterpillar you are not...........................

Well done on making those tracks and running gear, so quickly.
I bet it will look impressive once finished.

I hope so, the colour scheme is proving difficult, so little information.

Hi Zak,
Could I suggest it might be Admiitary Grey.........................................again.
Helpful?.................................Definitely Not!

More of the same.

Hi Zak,
Despite my inept remarks,
It is a remarkable build, and nobody can deny that!
Cheers,

Discovered a card model of Littlie Willie on line, so I am attempting it, maybe with using it as a basis for  a plastic card copy?
I don't know how people cope with card models, they are so unforgiving.
Hopefully I will do some modelling done next week.

Hi Zak,

It looked good when I saw it at Croppers, under build.
A plastic card copy would be neat and well within your skill level.

Here is the card model.
I have applied shellac (French Polish) to stabilise the card and then applied some paint. This is 1/18th scale, so it is quite big.
You can see the chassis, engine and gearbox in the first two. The second is one of the track sponsons.
The third is the body work so far.

The bullock tractor is being painted, so more of that later.

Hi Zak,
What a great looking 'Little Willie'

And all from card too..........................impressive

More pictures as things get added and painted.

Here is the 1/18 card version behind the 1/35 plastic card version for comparison.
The other photos are of the painted 1/18 beast.

Here are some pictures of the 1/32 Bullock Creeping Grip Tractor.
made up colour scheme as no details could be found.
Some of there later tractors were yellow and some were red.

It needs the canopy adding and some weathering.

The decals transfers were home made.

Wow!

That looks really smart, a BIG THUMBS UP! for this one.
